Open-Source DevOps AI Agent: Effortless Migration from Heroku to AWS

#Getting Started

We're excited to make this tool accessible to everyone. You can get started in two ways:

#1. Download the Project Locally

• Access the Code: Visit our GitHub repository to download the DevOps AI Agent.
• Run Locally: Follow the instructions in the repository to set up the AI Agent on your local machine.
• Customize: Adapt the tool to meet your specific needs or contribute to its development.

#2. Use the Web Interface

• Online Migration: Visit migrate.qovery.com to use the AI Agent through a user-friendly web interface.
• No Installation Required: Start your migration process without any local setup.
• Guided Process: The web interface provides step-by-step guidance to ensure a smooth migration.

#Result

Once you have executed the process via the web interface or locally, you should see a final result with multiple Terraform, Dockerfile, and markdown files like this:

output-gen/
├── cost_estimation_report.md
├── Dockerfile*
├── main.tf
├── README.md
└── variables.tf

So you can review them and ultimately execute them to run the migration process.

#More Context

#The Challenge: Moving Away from PaaS Platforms

PaaS platforms have been a go-to choice for developers due to their simplicity and ease of use. They handle much of the underlying infrastructure, allowing teams to focus on writing code rather than managing servers.

However, as applications scale and business requirements evolve, companies often find themselves needing:

• Enhanced Security: More robust security features and compliance certifications.
• Greater Control: Fine-grained control over infrastructure configurations.
• Advanced Technical Capabilities: Access to specialized services and customization options not available on PaaS platforms.

Despite these needs, companies delay migration because:

• Time Constraints: The migration process is perceived as time-consuming.
• Financial Barriers: High costs associated with hiring consultants or dedicating internal resources.
• User Experience Loss: Reluctance to lose the familiar and straightforward experience provided by PaaS platforms.

#Our Solution: The DevOps AI Agent and Qovery

Our DevOps AI Agent automates the migration process, addressing the challenges that companies face when moving away from PaaS platforms. When combined with Qovery, it offers a Heroku-like experience on top of your preferred cloud provider, ensuring you don't have to sacrifice usability for functionality.

Key Benefits

• Time Savings: Reduce migration time from weeks to days.
• Cost Efficiency: Eliminate the need for expensive consulting services.
• Cost Estimation: Qovery Migration AI Agent does estimate your infrastructure costs after migration.
• Ease of Use: Maintain a PaaS-like experience with Qovery's intuitive interface.
• Multi-Cloud Support: Choose between AWS, GCP, Azure, and Scaleway based on your needs.
• Open-Source: Freely available for anyone to use and contribute to.

#Why is Qovery on Top of AWS and Others?

While major cloud providers offer a comprehensive suite of services, their complexity can be a hurdle for teams accustomed to the simplicity of PaaS platforms.

Qovery bridges this gap by offering:

• Heroku-Like Simplicity: Qovery provides a developer-friendly environment that mirrors the ease of use of platforms like Heroku.
• Automated Infrastructure Management: Handles Kubernetes cluster management, scaling, and load balancing without manual intervention (zero day-2 operation).
• Enhanced Security and Compliance: Benefit from the robust security features and compliance certifications of AWS, GCP, Azure, or Scaleway.
• Full Control and Customization: Gain fine-grained control over your infrastructure configurations.
• Access to Advanced Cloud Services: Utilize specialized services unavailable on traditional PaaS platforms.
• Flexibility: Choose the cloud provider that best fits your business needs or use multiple providers simultaneously.

#How the AI Agent and Qovery Simplify Migration

The AI Agent automates the migration process, while Qovery ensures you retain the user experience you're accustomed to.

1. Assessment: The AI Agent scans your PaaS environment to identify applications, databases, and dependencies.
2. Mapping: It maps these components to services on your chosen cloud provider and configures them within Qovery.
3. Configuration Generation: Automatically creates the necessary infrastructure-as-code configurations and deployment scripts.
4. Deployment: Uses Qovery to deploy your applications seamlessly on AWS, GCP, Azure, or Scaleway.
5. Management: Qovery provides an intuitive interface to manage your applications post-migration, preserving the ease of use you enjoyed on your previous PaaS.
